Show & Tell – Fused Glass Pattern Bar Sushi Plate

This fused glass sushi plate is another project I made in the fused glass class I took at Hollander Glass. We made pattern bars in the first class. The next class we cut up the pattern bars and fused them into another piece. After it came out of the kiln, I sandblasted the blue sides of this dish which gave it a really unique look that is difficult to capture in a picture. It has a matte almost stone-like look to it.

Thanks Cyndi! Looks like a sand blaster is on my list of tools to buy now. Yes, honey! I’ll need more room in the garage!

you’re right. the only way to get the long edges straight would be to fire it face down without the pattern bar slices, flip, blast, fuse the pb slices, blast, then slump to bend and get the matte surface.

a tile saw is really very safe. you can run your fingers over the blade whilst it’s running without any problems except perhaps ruining your nail polish.

Hello Margot, I enjoy stopping by your blog from time to time to check out your newest piece. I think this one is one of my favorites for it is very colorful and pretty ( and I have a weak spot for sushi!).
